Ellis had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee -- his second on the knee in the last 18 months -- on April 8. He said the knee had been bothering him throughout spring training and he had appeared in only seven games, batting just .167 before having the second surgery.

He returned to the Dodgers on Wednesday after a two-game rehab appearance with triple-A Albuquerque (two for five, one homer).

Olivo, 35, is a 10-year veteran who hit .217 in eight games while Ellis was on the DL.

Wednesday’s lineup also has Andre Ethier in center, with Matt Kemp taking a turn on the bench.

There were 26 pitchers in baseball's 300-save club before Wednesday, an elite group headed by a right-hander who had the game's most devastating cut fastball (Mariano Rivera), another who had one of baseball's best changeups (Trevor Hoffman), and a left-hander who threw 98 mph (Billy Wagner).

A 5-2 win over Minnesota on Wednesday night proved costly for the Angels, who lost David Freese to a fractured right index finger, an injury that will sideline the third baseman for several weeks, and center fielder Daniel Robertson to right shoulder stiffness, an injury that is not serious.
